Box 9960 College Station, Texas 77842 /—� Phone 979.764.3570 / Fax 979.764.3496 CITY OF COLLEGE STATION MEMORANDUM August 19, 2007 TO: Ryan Griffis, via fax 972-868-9001 FROM: Lindsay Boyer, AICP, Senior Planner SUBJECT: 2818 PLACE PROPERTIES (SP)- Site Plan Staff reviewed the above-mentioned site plan as requested. The following page is a list of staff review comments detailing items that need to be addressed. Please address the comments and submit the following information for further staff review: One (1) revised site and landscaping plan. $88,592 Parkland Dedication fees prior to issuance of a building permit. Easement Dedication Sheet and required documents. The blanket easement dedication was submitted to the city along with the final plat application RESPONSE TO STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS NO. 1 September 7, 2007 Project: 2818 PLACE PROPERTIES (SP) — 07-00500192 THE BURY+PARTNERS RESPONSE TO THE CITIES COMMENTS ARE IN UPPER CASE PLANNING 1. Completely Page 2 of the application. Specifically if any 2 bedroom units have bedrooms less than 132 sf and the date parkland dedication was approved by the Parks Board. THE PARK BOARD APPROVED THE MONEY INLIEU OF LAND DURING THEIR JULY 17 MEETING A COPY OF THE MINUTES ARE ATTACHED THE ARCHITECT HAS ADDRESSED THE BEDROOM AREA QUESTION 2. Provide an overall civil site plan that shows phasing, parking, dimensions, fire lanes, utilities, easement, and any improvements being made to the site, as well as provide/address the following items on that site plan. Please see the attached site plans as an example of the type of submittal we will be expecting. THIS CIVIL PLAN WAS NOT PREPARED OR SUBMITTED SINCE IT IS NOT REQUIED IN THE REGULATIONS. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS PLAN IS REQUESTED FOR COORDIANTION OF VARIOUS ELEMENTS OF THE SITE DESIGN. BURY+PARTNERS DOES NOT EXPECT THE CITY TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE COORDAINATION OF THE DESIGN. 3. Please clarify the phasing. Is this the planned construction phasing for all infrastructure or just the buildings? If you are planning to phase all parking, landscaping, infrastructure and buildings based on this layout, I cannot verify if each phase meets minimum standards. At a minimum, you will have to have complete firelanes, landscaping to meet the phase, and parking to support the building, in addition to any sanitation and engineering items. ALL PARKING LOTS AND INFRASTRUCTURE FOR PHASE ONE WILL BE COMPLETED ALONG WITH ALL BUILDINGS IN PHASE ONE. THE PHASING OF THE BUILDING WAS SHOW TO ALLOW FOR THE OCCUPANCY OF BUILDINGS AS THEY ARE COMPLETED. A SHORT TIME FRAME WILL EXIST OF ABOUT 2 WEEKS THAT WILL BE THE OVERLAP TIME BETWEEN THE FIRST BUILDING BEING COMPLETED AND INSPECTED AND A CO ISSUED BY THE CITY AND THE LAST BUILDING BEING INSPECTED AND ITS CO BEING ISSUED. 4. Provide an adequate parking legend. If you are phasing by building, I need a breakdown of the type of units in EACH building and the associated parking for each building. Otherwise, please provide a legend comparable to the following: # of # of Required units bedrooms Spaces 1 Bedroom 2 Bedroom 3 Bedroom 4 Bedroom ALL PARKING WILL BE COMPLETED BEFORE THE BUILDINGS ARE COMPLETED. THIS TABLE IS NOT REQUIRED. 5. Unit tabulation table is unnecessary on Sheet 4. THIS TABLE WAS INCLUDED AT OUR DISCRESSION 6. Please remove sheets 2, 3A, and 3B. These are unnecessary THESE SHEETS WERE INCLUDED AT OUR DISCRESSION 7. Please verify parking spaces provided. I only counted 676 spaces. 8. Provide gross square feet of each building, and the height of each building on the site plan. THIS INFORMATION IS NOW SHOWN ON THE PHASING PLAN 9. Provide overall density on the civil site plan. THIS INFORMATION IS NOW SHOWN ON THE PHASING PLAN 10. Provide current owner and zoning of all adjacent properties on civil site plan. THIS IS SHOWN ON THE PLAT 11. Provide all dimensions on site plan, not separate sheet. Dimensions of building are unnecessary. DIMENSIONS REQUIRED BOFOR CONSTRUCTION ARE SHOWN ON THE DIMENSION PLAN. 12. Show all fire lanes on civil site plan, not separate sheet. SEE RESPONSE TO COMMENT 2 13. Clearly label and/or show all existing and proposed easements on civil site plan. SEE RESPONSE TO COMMENT 2 14. Clearly label and/or show all building setbacks on civil site plan. SEE RESPONSE TO COMMENT 2 15. All parking islands must be at least 180 square feet (9 x 20 or 10 x 18). Where the parking row is double or at a corner where two parking rows meet, end islands must be at least 360 square feet. A number of the end islands and interior islands do not meet this minimum standard. 16. You must have at least 41 interior islands, or 7,380 of combined interior island space above and beyond end island requirement (See UDO, Section 7.2.E). DUE TO THE LARGE LANDSCAPED AREA BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS AND WITHIN THE AO ZONED AREA WE BELIEVE THAT THE INTENT OF SECTION 7.2.E IS SATISFIED. 17. All parking spaces must be at least 9 x 20 or 9 x 18 if adjacent to a 4 foot landscape strip or 6 foot sidewalk (See UDO, Section 7.2.C). There appear to be spaces that do not meet this requirement. THIS REQUIREMENT IS SATIFIED SINCE ALL SIDEWALKS BETWEEN THE PARKING AREA AND THE BUILDINGS ARE 6' WIDE. ALL PARKING SPACES AT 20' DEEP IS THEY ARE NOT ADJACENT TO A 6' SIDEWALK OR A 4' WIDE GRASS STRIP. 18. All dumpsters should be separated from parking rows by a 180 square foot end island. ALL DUMSTER ARE SHOWN IN A FUNCTIONALLY PROPER LOCATION 19. Show all sidewalks. Is there to be no sidewalk connections from the parking areas to the buildings? I would assume these would be required at a minimum to comply with ADA standards, regardless of for the ease of residents. ALL improvements being made to the site should be shown on the site plan. THE INTERFACE BETWEEN ALL BUILDINGS AND THE PARKING AREA IS SEPARATED BY A SIDEWALK. 20. Show all fire department connections on civil site plan, not separate sheet. Fire department connections must be within 150 feet of a hydrant as the hose would lie. Additionally, these should be easily accessible/identifiable from the front of the building per the Fire Marshall's office. ALL BUILDINGS ARE SPRINKLERED. ALL FDC'S ARE BUILDINGS A 21. All buildings included the clubhouse must be sprinkled, otherwise a second access must be provided with this phase. THE CLUB HOUSE WILL HAVE A FIRE PROTECTION SPRINKLER SYSTEM. 22. Show all fire hydrants on civil site plan, not separate sheet. Hydrants should be placed to cover all buildings. Hose length is 300 feet along driveways with a 150 foot spray arc. Please make sure all buildings are completely covered. 23. If buildings are over 30 feet in height, a firelane must be provided to accommodate an aerial apparatus truck. This requires a 26 foot wide firelane which has an outside edge within 15 and 30 feet of the building for the entire length of one side of the building. THE TOP OF THE EXTERIOR WALL AT THE 3 STORY BUILDINGS IS NOW LESS THAN 30' AFTER REPLACEMENT OF THE FLOOR JOISTS WITH A LOWER HEADROOM DESIGN. 24. Clearly label the setback for the lot. For areas that are zoned A-O, the front and rear setback is 50 feet, there is no determined side setback. For R-4, front setback is 25 feet, the rear is 20 feet, and side setback from the property line is 7.5 feet. THE SITE PLAN DRAWINGS WILL BE REVISED TO SHOW THE SETBACKS 25. Verify all turning radii for fire lanes. See the Site Design Standards for radii requirements. ONE SET OF RADI WERE CHANGED AT THE FIRST RIGHT TURN INTO THE SITE. THREE 'T' TURN AROUNDS WERE ADDED ALONG THE EAST PROPERTY LINE. 26. All standard details for planning items can be found in the Site Design Standards: website: http://www.cstx.gov/docs/site design standards.pdf WE USED THESE DETAILS 27. Dimension all opposite and adjacent driveways. THE SITE PLAN WAS REVISED AS REQUIRED. 28. Provide curbing and curb detail. All pavement must be curbed with 6-inch raised monolithic curbing. SEE NOTES ON SHEETS 6 AND 7. SEE DETAILS ON SHEET 24 29. Show all areas to be paved on the site plan. SEE SHEETS 6 AND 7 30. Provide paving details. In addition, I cannot distinguish the pavement types on the plan because of the copy quality. If these are on the BCS standard detail sheet, please X out all details that do not pertain to this development. WE WILL X OUT THE DETAILS NOT NEEDED 31. Driveway width exceeds the maximum allowable width. (UDO Section 7.3) THE DRIVEWAY ONTO HARVEY MITCHELL IS A ONE WAY DIVIDED DRIVEWAY. THE CONFIGURATION SHOWN ALLOWS FOR LEFT AND RIGHT TURNING MOVEMENT LANES AND WILL PREVENT SIGNIFICANT BACKUP ON-SITE DUE TO THE DELAY IN LEFT TURN TRAFFIC MOVEMENTS ONTO HARVEY MITCHELL. 32. Dimension driveway throat depth on civil site plan in compliance with UDO Section 7.3. THE DISTANCE SHOWN FROM HARVEY MITCHELL TO THE FIRST POINT OF CONFLICT IS 125'. THE ALLOWABLE DISTANCE IN 7.3.c.7 IS 50' THE DRAWING WAS REVISED 33. Provide details for sanitation screening. Plantings only are inadequate. (UDO Section 7.7) PLANS FOR THE DUMPSTER SCREEN WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE RE-SUBMITTAL. 34. Provide details for sanitation pad. A standard detail is available in the site design standards. Clearly indicate the type of wall or fence being constructed. Also, all sanitation routes must be built to a 20 foot firelane pavement standard. PLANS FOR THE DUMPSTER SCREEN WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE RE-SUBMITTAL. 35. Will the site be fenced? If so, a fencing and gate detail must be provided. 36. Please note that any changes made to the plans, that have not been requested by the City of College Station, must be explained in your next transmittal letter and "bubbled" on your plans. Any additional changes on these plans that the City has not be made of aware of will constitute a completely new review. Reviewed by: Lindsay Boyer, Senior Planner Date: August 28, 2007 LANDSCAPING/STREETSCAPING/BUFFER 1. Provide parking screening in compliance with UDO Section 7.7.D.5 2. Verify the number of live oaks. I only counted 41 live oaks 3. Verify the number of yaupon hollies. I only counted 7 Yaupon hollies 4. All streetscaping trees must be placed within 50 feet of the ROW. 5. Provide a general note that 100% coverage of groundcover, decorative paving, decorative rock, or a perennial grass is required in parking lot islands, swales and drainage areas, the parking lot setback, rights-of-way, and adjacent property disturbed during construction. 6. Irrigation system must be protected by either a Pressure Vacuum Breaker, a Reduced Pressure Principle Back Flow Device, or a Double-Check Back Flow Device, and installed as per City Ordinance 2394. 7. All BackFlow devices must be installed and tested upon installation as per City Ordinance 2394. Reviewed by: Lindsay Boyer, Senior Planner Date: August 28, 2007 ENGINEERING COMMENTS NO. 1 (Site Plan) 1. It is my understanding that the final plat construction documents and site plan construction documents would be combined into one set leading up to a development permit for all construction. THIS WAS DONE 2. Please revise engineers cost estimate to reflect all proposed public infrastructure for the project. A REVISED ESTIMATE IS INCLUDED 3. (Drainage Report) It appears this project is in an area which must be evaluated to determine if detention is required (see Appendix B, Table B-1). In the event that detention is not recommended for this site, please provide required certification (see Section 11.C.3.b). 4. (Drainage Report) As this project is not proposing detention, please certify that the development is utilizing rapid conveyance to the primary channel, verifying that the sites discharge hydrograph and peak is ahead of the main channels hydrograph is such a manor that it does not create a new resulting peak greater than the main channels existing peak, so that there are no negative impacts. 5. (Drainage Report) Please provide pre and post flow data for each drainage area as well as the overall pre and post performance of the site. 6. (Fire Report) Please verify that the proposed Phase 1 or Lot 1 development meets the minimum design guideline requirements, as Phase 1 or Lot 1 does not appear to be a looped system. THE SYSTEM IS INTERNALLY LOOPED. THE CITY AGREED EARLY IN THIS PROJECT THAT THE CURRENT CONFIGURATION WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE UNTIL THE PHASE 2 DEVELOPMENT WAS CONSTRUCTED. THE WATER MAIN NETWORK ANALYSIS SHOWS THAT SUFFICIENT PRESSURE AND DISCHARGE FLOWS 7. Please illustrate and dimension all proposed easements required for all public infrastructure improvements. Please sign and return the temporary blanket easement that was prepared by out legal department. This must be done prior to beginning construction. These specific easement dedications need to be submitted once proposed infrastructure locations are field verified. Please dedicate the easements using the City's Easement Dedication Application. 8. (Sheet 8 and 9) It appears there is easement being proposed for the sanitary sewer system which provides sewer service to each building. This system should more appropriately be a private system built to building code standard and does not require easement dedication. Obviously the sanitary sewer main extension required with the final plat would be public infrastructure, built to public standard within an easement. At the beginning of the project we were directed by the city to include all main sanitary sewer lines in a public easement. We were also told that private utilities cannot cross public utility line. WE HAVE REMOVED THE EASEMENT LINES FROM SANITARY SEWERS THAT ARE NOT REQUIRED BY THE FINAL PLAT. SEVERAL AREAS EXIST WHERE THE PRIVATE SANITARY SEWER CROSSES THE PUBLIC WATER MAIN. CLEARANCES AND PIPE WALL ADJUSTMENTS FOR SANITARY REASONS ARE SHOWN ON THE PLAN AND PROFILE FOR THE WATER MAINS 9. (Sheet 8 and 9) It appears there are easements being proposed for some portions of the storm sewer system. This system should more appropriately be a private system and does not require easement dedication. ALL STORM SEWERS ARE INTENDED TO BE PRIVATE. THE DRAWINGS WILL BE SO NOTED. 10. (Sheet 8 and 9) The internal water system however will need to be built to public standard within an easement due to the need for public fire hydrants throughout the site. The easement should cover all public mains, hydrants, meters and isolation valves. The fire line lead into each building does not need easement after the isolation valve, and the domestic and irrigation service lines do not need easement after the meters. THE WATER METERS WERE RELOCATED AS REQUIRED. 11. (Sheet 8 and 9) Please provide plan and profile data COMMENT NOT UNDERSTOOD 12. (Sheet 8 and 9) Please verify that all water meters have been located within an easement SEE RESPONSE TO COMMENT 10 ABOVE 13. (Sheet 8 and 9) Please provide water demands for each building or each type of building as to appropriately size the water meters. THE WATER REPORT SHOWS THE DESIGN WATER FLOW DEMAND. A LOW GRADE 2" WATER METER WILL FLOW OVER 160 GPM AT LESS THAN 9 PSI PRESSURE DROP. 14. (Sheet 10 and 11) Please label AO area to remain undisturbed. THE DRAWING WILL BE REVISED The following comments pertain to the construction documents titled "Public Utility Improvements to Serve 2818 Place" and were submitted 6/25/07. These comments were originally returned 7/12/07. It does not appear that there has been a submittal addressing these comments to date. It was my understanding that the final plat construction documents and site plan construction documents would be combined into one set leading up to a development permit for all construction. When resubmitting to address the below comments, please note the updated page number if they do not correspond with the original submittal. 1. As previously stated the utility department is not comfortable with the proposed water main alignment, as bends under pavement are discouraged. THIS THYPE OF ARRANGEMENT WILL RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER NUMBER OF WATER MAIN FITTINGS AND THRUST BLOCKS AND GREATER CHANCES FOR PIPE DEFLECTION AND LEAKAGE IN THE FAT CLAYS FOUND ON-SITE. THIS TYPE OF ARRANGEMETN WILL BE VERY COUNTERPRODUCTIVE OVER THE LIFE CYCLE OF THE PROJECT. 2. Please provide the detailed construction documents for the connection to the sanitary sewer lift station. The lift station area will need to be repaired to pre-construction conditions. THE DETAIL WAS ADDED 3. (Sheet 4 & 5) Please label the sanitary sewer main material types as SDR26-ASTM F679 or ductile iron, thru out plans. THIS NOTE WAS ADDED 4. (Sheet 4 & 5) Please check all notes in plan in profile, as the pipe size is not consistent on these plans. THIS CHANGE WAS MADE 5. (Sheet 4 & 5) Please revise note for Detail S4-02 and S3-03 regarding bedding detail, as it should be S2-02, this is inconsistent throughout plans. THIS CHANGE WAS MADE 6. (Sheet 4 & 5) Please make a note on the plans requiring all water/sanitary conflicts to meet TCEQ minimum standards, please describe in detail these requirements. THIS CHANGE WAS MADE 7. (Sheet 4) The required pier size for an 18-in is a 36-in pier (pipe size plus 18-in), see detail S4-00. THE PIERS WILL BE DESIGNED BY THE FOUNDATION ENGINEER. 8. (Sheet 4) Concerning the sanitary sewer aerial crossing, please provide the runs that depict the proposed floodway encroachment to result in a zero rise per Flood Hazard Protection Ordinance, Section 5.G.2.d. THIS ANALYSIS IS BEING PREPARED BY DODSON AND ASSOCIATES 9. (Sheet 4 & 5) Please read the "Flushing Design" requirement in the BCS Design Guidelines to verify that additional air relief valves and flushing appurtenances are not needed. FIRE HYDRANTS ARE IN PLACE TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE FLUSHING 10. (Sheet 5) Please read TCEQ 290.44.f.2, pertaining to water lines laid under flowing or intermittent streams. You will need to provide a valve on either side of the encasement in these areas. THESE VALVES HAVE BEEN SHOWN ON THE PLANS 11. (Sheet 5) Please read BCS Design Guidelines, Domestic Water, specifically the "Crossing" section. Please verify that the below grade creek crossing encasement is adequate in length. THIS CHANGE WAS MADE 12. (Sheet 4, 5, 6 & 7) In profile, please provide detail of vertical transitions. THIS ADDITION WAS MADE 13. (Sheet 4 & 5) A gate valve is required every 800-ft. THIS WAS INCLUDED 14. (Sheet 4, 5, 6 & 7) Two gate valves should be used in all tees, such as the fire hydrant locations, and may satisfy the previous comment. A GATE VALVE IS NOT INTENTED IN THE CITY REGULATIONS TO BE INCLUDED AT EACH FIRE HYDRANT. THIS IS NOT PROPER DESIGN AND INCREASES THE CHANCE OF WATER MAIN LEAKS AND INCREASES MAINTENANCE REQUIRED BY THE CITY TO KEEP THE VALVES OPERABLE 15. (Sheet 4, 5, 6 & 7) Please label the water main material type: Pressure Class 200, DR-14, AWWA C-909, this is incorrect throughout plans THIS CHANGE WAS MADE 16. (Sheet 4, 5, 6 & 7) Please illustrate all valves, hydrants, bends, connections, fittings, etc in profile as done in plan view. ELBOWS WILL NOT BE SHOWN IN THE PROFILE AS THIS DOES NOT ADD TO THE VALUE OF THE PROFILE AND THE STATIONING OF THE ELBOW IS SHOWN ON THE PLAN VIEW 17. (Sheet 4, 5, 6 & 7) On all fire suppression line, an isolation valve is required just inside the PUE. Also note on the plans that fire suppression lines shall have a lockable lid on the isolation valve. The lockable lid shall, at a minimum supply protection as the AMP or USA, LL562 Locking Lid. Alternate lockable lids shall be approved by College Station Utilities Director or his designee. A NOTE WAS ADDED TO SPECIFY THE LOCKING LID 18. (Sheet 6 & 7) The required encasement pipe for a 10-in main is an 18-in casing. 19. (Sheet 6 & 7) Bedding Detail should be W4-02 not S2-02. THIS CHANGE WAS MADE 20.
